“What Assault Squad does do is transform and reinvigorate Men Of War as a multi-player game, as well as set itself in stone as one of the greatest and grandest co-op games available.”

Men of War: Assault Squad features a completely new cooperative skirmish game mode with access to five different nations (Russia, Germany, USA, Commonwealth and, for the first time ever in the Men of War series, Japan) as well as increased realism and accessibility.
Players can get behind the controls of a tank to smash through obstacles, crush soldiers under their tracks and fire high-explosive shells at enemy emplacements, they can even take control of individual soldiers as they fight. As in previous games in the series, Men of War: Assault Squad includes the unique "direct control" feature which enables players to be in command of any unit using the WASD controls, rather than pointing and clicking.

Key Features:

Different historical settings and battlegrounds for every nation presented in the game allowing players to face distinct varieties of enemies and tactics

Unique hero units with powerful abilities such as increasing units' firepower, boosting morale or providing other advantages to defeat the enemy against all odds

Bonuses featuring remote controlled bombs that can flatten entire residential blocks, airstrikes to destroy incoming tank columns, special "For the Motherland!" charge attacks and many more

Improved and dynamic AI ensures that no two missions in the game will play out the same way, making each battle a new experience against an AI that really fights back

A great choice of various locations including Western Europe to Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Pacific area

The ability to play together with up to four friends in LAN or cooperative online play

New multiplayer maps and game settings

Improved multiplayer providing authentic use of equipment and vehicles

Overhauled infantry squads and the ability to purchase specific soldiers

More realistic weapon behavior and penetration values

A reworked artillery system providing innovative assault and defense strategies

Campaign:+ 15 long skirmish missions- no classic campaign- no story- no important characters or scenes- no variation

Game Size:+ solo playtime around 20 hours+ very extensive multiplayer mode+ long skirmish missions- for single player hardly content

If you are looking into real-time strategy games with Second World War scenario like Company of Heroes or Panzers is in good hands there. Its a deep and complicated multiplayer-focused RTS that is not a good choice for those new to the series. The structure of the game is simple, the interface is intuitive that you don't need to read the manual or go through a tutorial.The main new addition to the game is the new Skirmish mode, 15 huge scenarios where you lead the troops of the USA, Germany, Japan etc. As is the norm for any RTS game, you’ll control the standard infantrymen, trucks, tanks, air strikes, etc. Each man in your unit will defend himself and fire at the enemy, but victory depends on your capable leadership. All 15 missions (each nation gets three historical battles ) can be played cooperatively, and is where the game really comes into its own here. The challenge is so much more fun with two or more players, as each player progresses along its own line and supports his friends.

The strength of this game is the tactical gameplay. The AI is very aggressive , even on the easiest level. Each soldier has his own set of weapons and equipment, and your troops are adequately equipped. Man-hauled anti-tank guns have big ranges, and so long as there are infantry units close enough to do the spotting, they can knock out armour from a mile away.

Although the setting and and units for each mission, objectives and general layout of the maps are identical. You will start with a ridiculously small force and work out the map, by capturing and holding objective points. Over and over.These locations increase your drip-feed of requisition points, which in turn are spent on new units, which roll onto the table from your starting location. Battles a bit like rock-paper-scissors, where you're always searching for the best tactics.

There’s no doubt that the gameplay of Men of War is brilliant, but seeing as Assault Squad is only a multiplayer expansion and features a steep learning curve. It isn't such a great option for tank rushers who don't have a lot of time to spare to learn combined-arms intricacies. Overall, it’s a game that I can recommend with very few reservations.

Sorry for my bad english.Thanks for reading! If you Like my Review, give me a Thumbs up in Steam.Your help is greatly appreciated :)

Super in-depth, super detailed, super good. Not only can you steal enemy vehicles and guns, you can steal those vehicles' supplies and use them yourself, and then ASSUME DIRECT CONTROL with E and turn the game into a third-person shooter. You can control the inventory of individual infantry down to their damn hats and the bullets in their gun. The environments are almost entirely destructable to a striking degree of detail, which leads to awesome moments like when the bomber you call in for an airstrike is shot down by enemy forces (Yes, you can do that too) and it crashes into a house and knocks it to pieces.The only two complaints I have about this game are that you can't commandeer everything on the field (Battleships, a German artillery piece in one or two missions, some boats, etc), and that there are too few singleplayer missions: only three per faction, plus the American tutorial mission. I suppose this could stem from the fact that they're all taken from real battles that faction actually won, but I think the base game could stand to have a little more replay value. Still, though, given how much fun it is to play the missions that are there, it doesn't hurt the game much.

If you think this is better than Company of Milking 2, you are wrong.If you think you are dumb because you thought that, you are right.All soldiers yell "FOR THE MOTHERLAND!!!" even if they are American.

If you like strategy games you should definatley give this game a try. It has an awsome editor where you can create any battle and not to mention the great mods that are avalable for this game one of the best has got to be the cold war mod.This game also has a good campaign that is quite enjoyable.

When you get right down to it, Men of War: Assault Squad is a tactical WWII RTS game for those who have mastered the somewhat easier-to-handle Company of Heroes. This is a challenging battlefield experience somewhat closer to a wargame than to a traditional RTS game and as such is geared to more of a hardcore crowd. It isn't such a great option for tank rushers who don't have a lot of time to spare to learn combined-arms intricacies. Be aware of these demands going in, and you will have a great time refighting this war.This review is "For Uncle Sam!"

If you have played World of Tanks, Battlefield, Company of Heroes and Call of Duty... you're gonna like dis.

Because:

If you like World of Tanks, you can have realistic tank battles with penetration, armor angling and nobody will call you noob if you use gold (apcr) rounds! :D Plus, Tiger actually has armor here! PLUS, here you can see what would have happened of WoT had infantry!

If you like Battlefield, you can capture objectives and receive reinforcements! You can fly a plane, drive a car, shoot a bazooka, shoot a rifle, have classes, custom gear, kill cows and get a FULLY destructible environment! Yup! All buildings can go down! F*ck tickets... KILL THEM ALL!

If you like Company of Heroes, you can control people just like in a RTS game! Squad control, tank control, Hold Fire, Fire at Will, Artillery strike, Cars, Smoke grenades, AT infantry, Snipers, Take Cover (specific! :D)... and you can HIDE FROM ENEMIES! :D

If you like Call of Duty, worry not my friend! Yes, you can enable direct control if you think that your idiot can't shoot properly (Which is a very annoying thing in some RTS games)! Exactly, now you can "Be" him and rush in guns blazing just like in CoD! Just take a Machine Gun, enable direct control, rotate the camera so you can see things in front of you and BOOM! You have an Action Shooter!
